President Droupadi Murmu attends mass wedding in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur

New Delhi/IBNS: President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday attended a mass wedding ceremony, organised by Bageshwar Jan Seva Samiti, at Gadha in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur.

Addressing the gathering, the President said: "Today, as our country moves from women-development to women-led development, we must all contribute to making our daughters and sisters strong and capable."

She urged people to pay attention to women’s education, health, and safety.

President Murmu advised women to make continuous efforts for their education and self-reliance.

She said that in our tradition, saints have shown the path to the people for centuries. "They have raised their voice against the social evils prevalent in contemporary society," said the President.

"They have also raised their voice against discrimination based on caste, gender, etc. Be it Guru Nanak, Sant Ravidas, Sant Kabir Das, Meera Bai, or Sant Tukaram, all have inspired people to follow the right path through their teachings. Their contribution to Indian society has given them a respectful place," Murmu said.

She said that contemporary spiritual leaders could play an important role in building a self-reliant, harmonious, and environment-friendly India.
